WHEN Jesus was born in Bethlehem, He was given another name beside Jesus. Do you know the meaning of that precious name—Jesus? It means Jehovah the Savior.
Jehovah was the name by which God was known to the children of Israel, about whom we read so much in the Old Testament.
How wonderful, then, to think of that blessed Babe, who was called JESUS, being the great Jehovah, and that this name, Jesus, just means Savior.
And He is a Savior not in name only. Jesus has been the Savior of vast multitudes of boys and girls, and there are thousands and thousands to-day, spread over the world, who know Him as their own Savior, and who love His precious name.
But He was also given the name of Emmanuel, which means "God with us." And it was written in the book called the Old Testament over seven hundred years before Jesus was born that He should be given this great name, Emmanuel.
So when we think of Jesus as He lived on this earth, we should always think of Him as "JEHOVAH THE Savior," and as "GOD WITH US."
How wonderful it is to think of God, who is so glorious in majesty, actually being with us on the earth, and to know that when the boys and girls in Judaea and Galilee and other places saw Jesus, they saw God, and when they heard Jesus speaking to them it was Jehovah the Savior who was speaking, and that this same Jesus came into the world to save sinners—to save you and me, dear boys and girls.
